Abstract

Objective: To define uniform minimum conditions for certain motor vehicle equipment and parts to be approved in their countries and facilitate their use. Summary of provisions: Each Contracting Party agrees to establish uniform conditions for the approval of motor vehicle equipment and parts and to recognise the approvals granted by other Parties in accordance with those conditions (art.1.1). If the competent authorities of at least two Contracting Parties agree to the same conditions for motor vehicle equipment and parts, they undertake to draft a regulation including e.g. the conditions which the said elements must fulfil (art. 1.2). A Party applying a Regulation undertakes to grant the approval markings for each equipment or part under certain conditions including inter alia that it is able to verify the conformity of the product with the approved type; if the conditions are not respected, the Party is to refuse the approval (art. 2). If a Contracting Party applying a regulation finds that the product bearing approval markings issued by one of the Contracting Parties does not conform to the approved types, it is to advise that Party. The latter undertakes to take the necessary steps to bring the manufactures into conformity with the approved types (art. 4). (Source: IUCN ELC, 08.2005)
